Our final special event for this Probus year…..the special events committee has arranged for
us to have lunch at Craigowan Golf Course on Thursday, June 18 – please note that this is not
the usual Probus Wednesday as the dining room was not available on that day. The bar will
open at 11:30 and lunch will be served at noon. The menu: chef’s soup (vegetarian/dairy and
gluten free), chicken breast with wild mushroom veloute, baked vegetarian penne pasta, feta
Greek pasta salad, assorted squares, coffee and tea. The cost is $50 and tickets will be
available at the May meeting.

We are offering a special treat in April. Due to restaurant availability, the date will be
Thursday, April 2. The Golden Teapot is located in an Art Gallery in Brantford. Here is an idea
of the menu. We are suggesting you get a small group together and carpool to get there. They can accommodate 20-22 guests. There will be a sign-up sheet at the March meeting.
